you can always dye it ,i have some power pro someware ,that went white (from origanal moss green) due too use ,tried dying it ,i wond it ino a small loop the left half the loop in the dye over night ,then it was a two tone line ,but it didn't last more than a season or so and went white again ,never failed too catch on it ,for being white .
for those contemplating using braid especially for trotting .the secret to fishing with braid is not the braid its the rod ,its the rod that does all the work /flexing (after all ,thats what they're designed for to flex ) you soon learn too read the rod rather than the line ,with stretchy line you learn to read the line and the flex/stretch in it, you temper your stike accordingly with mono you need to strike through the stretch to connect with the fish .but with braid the strike isn't so exaggerated ,you keep your strike smooth for a constant pull rather than a hurried snatch .
with braid you'll enjoy the fight with the fish much more ,in fact it'll sharpen your fish playing skills .but also just remember braid is nothing new it came before mono ,the only new thing about braid is the fibres used in days of yore it was horse hair or silk that was used rather than man made techno fibres of today .if you don't give it a go ,you'll never know what your missing .
